You see no benefit from the client point of view?
I am talking about simply turning it on and running it. Servers still pop up and I still sort by ping. What got better for me?
I see it as a much better choice than the one previously deployed. I live in Brazil where almost 100% of the ip address space is like 200. or 201. and now, when I refresh the list, the first servers I get, are the ones closer to me, and not some random foreign server that is not good at all for me with theys 300+ ping.
My server is located in Oregon (US west coast). The majority of players on my server are from Canada. Geographic location has little to do with connection quality on the net (though extreme distance and odd locations are sure to be the exception). I am only a few miles away for example and the Canucks get half the ping I do on my server. You don't play on servers with 300+ pings because you have others to choose from that have lower pings. It's not because Valve did some magic. It's because you sorted your server list by latency just like before.
